Here's an interesting read from a NY Times author on siblings: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/opinion/sunday/bruni-the-gift-of-siblings.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

I figured this would be the best place to put this thread because of the underlying tension that often pervades relationships in families where the siblings and parents have different religious beliefs. That's not to say we have to go down the rabbit hole of "why" that happens in this particular thread, but it still makes the most sense to post it here nonetheless.

As for the article, it's a good reminder of how important the relationships with your siblings can be and should be when prioritized correctly. Of course for many, that seems easier said than done most of the time, especially as you get older and you have increasing demands on your time, thoughts, and your priorities change.

Siblings on message boards can be pains in the ass.

Good read, thanks. I sent it to my sibs.
